I am probably of a minority view here when I say this: Israelis wouldn't mind Gaza to be prosperous or even quasi-sovereign. Gaza is like the proverbial hedgehog in a snake's mouth: Can't gobble it and can't spit it out--would hurt either way. But Israelis thought a stable Gaza would be a peaceful Gaza.
Facts do not bear this out.
The Zionist entity always imposed a blockade on Gaza in order to limit its economic potential and make life unbearable so the population eventually leaves. The blockade started as soon as they left the strip and did not wait till Hamas came into power,
Now the Zionists use the withdrawal in 2005, that was done to save money and settler lives, as somehow they gave "independence" to Gazans who did not want to live in peace with them and randomly started firing rockets at them.
